Christopher L. Perkins was killed when a police car driven by officer Garrett Shaddix hit his 1994 Saturn. Shaddix was reportedly responding to a disturbance call at a Wichita nightclub at around 11 p.m. According to witnesses, Shaddix was driving between 60 and 75 mph in a 40 mph zone with no warning lights or siren when Perkins turned in front of him. Shaddix was charged with misdemeanor vehicular homicide and was acquitted in 2011. In 2010, the Wichita city council agreed to a $300,000 settlement with Perkins' family.
